| Where is the dividing line between a forced and an arranged marriage?
There doesn't seem to be a line, as from what I read you either do it or be banished from the family.How sad. I thought we were living in the 21st century and not the dark ages.My brother was engaged to a Vietnamese girl, and wound up breaking off the engagement. He was wary of doing it. Although the marriage wasn't arranged, it was a tradition of her culture to be disowned by her family for the man breaking it off, regardless of the reason for doing so. Luckily, her family broke with tradition and didn't disown her.
